City Hall Wedding
I found the perfect little dress for a city hall wedding. Yes, yes, I know that isn’t our way, and the dress is ridonkulously pricey (it is a wedding, after all), but I love it! With these shoes?

Charming Housewares
I am so sad that Bed Bath and Beyond is no longer with us (yes, I know it’s merged with Overstock but it’s not the same as it was at all, so I don’t count that). I used to pore over bridal registries and even had a Pinterest board where I saved all the things I wanted to register for …
Bride in the Mirror
Last week I went with a friend to a bridal gown sample sale. We had exactly 20 minutes from the time they opened until we had to leave for work. I tried on only one gown but as soon as I saw it on the hanger I had a feeling it would “work” for me. I brought it to the …
Shabbos Kallah Kiddush
I have every intention of having a non-awkward Shabbos kallah, unusual though that may be. I have given it some thought and I think I’ve identified what it is that people would enjoy (including the kallah). And that is a Shabbos kallah kiddush. A nice one, with kugel and herring and strawberry shortcake 🙂 . I think this could be …
Optimistic Playlist
Hi, all. I’ve been listening to optimistic music a lot these days — it’s really helpful! I keep playing Yaakov Shwekey’s “A Toast to Life” on a loop, and also “Kol Haneshama.” Another good one is Joey Newcomb’s “Thank You, Hashem” (of course)! When I want something slower, I love “We Are a Miracle.” (Yes, I am a Shwekey fan, …
This Would Be a Nice Place for a Wedding
I love thinking about formats and locations for small, unconventional weddings. I have actually been doing this for forever but COVID really gave me an excuse to dream. Apparently “micro weddings” are now a trend in the secular wedding world and I am here for it, if just for the cuteness. When I was little, my grandparents used to …
Wedding Notebook Update
Hey, everyone. I just dusted off my wedding notebook and flipped through. Lots of good stuff in there (and some things that are now irrelevant). Recently this article inspired me to reopen my wedding notebook. I have updated different sections and instead of writing them in the notebook I made a few Google docs. Oh, and I also totally redid …
Okay, Let’s Plan a Dining Room Wedding
Sorry if y’all want a break from…the situation, but bear with me another moment. I find such charm in anything tiny and, between you and me, my secret wish was always to have an intimate little wedding (too much Anne of Green Gables, perhaps?). So, these days my imagination is in overdrive. As always, my heart truly goes out to …
Let’s Plan a Backyard Wedding
At this point, just about everyone’s lives have been turned upside down. With schools shut down, businesses shuttered, and flights cancelled, not to mention the social distancing measures, I’m getting so jittery. Weddings have had to be dramatically scaled down…and that got me thinking about what I would do if my wedding was taking place under these circumstances. It’s actually kind …
Wedding Notebook
I want to plan my wedding! The wedding prep around here has totally given me the bug. Recently, I started keeping a wedding notebook so I have somewhere to jot down all my thoughts and ideas for my wedding iy”H. So far I have pages for Things To Do First Upon Getting Engaged, Music I Like, Chuppah, Thoughts on the …
